FRIDAY
The girls and I took Krispy Kreme donuts into Luke's class. I have not had one of those donuts in forever and forgot that they were so yummy.SATURDAY
We let Luke take 2 friends to FlipNOut (an indoor trampoline place). They had a great time and were all red in the face from jumping around for an hour. McDonald's ice cream sundaes were the treat after the fun at FlipNOut.Later that night we went to Red Robin as a family. Luke was so surprised when they came out with his free sundae (that's right two sundaes in one day :) ) and started singing to him.
SUNDAY (His actual birthday.)
It has become a tradition for the kids to come down in the morning on their birthday and see how the kitchen is decorated. I love the "right after you wake up" pictures.
Opening presents...money from grandma & grandpa, double sided light saber, kinex, and a remote control dune buggy from us. A lego game and Star Wars lego vehicle from friends.
My attempt at a double sided light saber cake. This was Luke's request for a cake. I'm not sure I met his expectations. :)
We had Luke's boy cousins and his aunt and uncle come for dinner, cake, & ice cream. Tacos were the requested dinner by the birthday boy. I love this group shot of the cousins for many reasons...the placement of the blue balloon, Katelyn's fruit punch moustache stain, Ashley's helmet along with her ladybug Halloween costume.MONDAY
There was no school on Monday and that was probably the best birthday present for Luke. He loves a day off from school and it works out that he usually gets a day off close to his birthday.

Hi!
I would like to talk to you about an article I wrote that, being a parent, I think you would enjoy (on early childhood education). I'd love it if you could drop me an email quick so I can give you more details if you're interested or if you were interested in new content for your blog.

What a birthday weekend! I LOVE how happy he looks with his Red Robin ice-cream. I'm so glad he enjoyed all of it.
You have some mad lightsabre making skills.
You are such a good mom and always come up with good ideas. I can't believe he is alredy 7. Happy birhtday to Luke.
Great update, Jess! I love the birthday festivities. The picture of Luke at Red Robin, getting surprised with an ice cream sundae, totally makes me think of Judd, your brother! (or one of your other brothers at that age, but I probably just knew Judd the best). Glad you are well! Happy Birthday, Luke!
loved all the posts, Jess. I should read them more often! You are a great mom----loved all the birthday ideas and Luke looked so pleased and happy with everything.
The cousin picture is a classic.
I think that picture of the cousins is fantastic. Also, I think Luke's birthday looks like an inadvisable amount of fun- I want in on that!
How Fun! We do the every other year bday parties to and it's worked out really great. I love your cake, double sided light sabers are pretty cool. Luke looks like he had a fantastic 4 day celebration.
